New Features and Improvements

SolarWinds NCM version 7.4 includes the following new features and improvements:

Cisco IOS and ASA Vulnerability Reporting

NCM uses Cisco IOS and ASA firmware and configuration vulnerability data from the National Vulnerability Database to record which nodes in NCM are vulnerable. This information is available in a new Firmware Vulnerability resource and as a report.

NCM Entirely Web-based

The NCM desktop application is no longer available and all functionality has migrated to the SolarWinds Orion Web Console.

Config download aborts when the config line (for example, the hostname on a line by itself in the banner text) exactly matches the length of the device's prompt.

To resolve this issue, ensure that you surround any banner text with comment operators. For example, if your hostname appears in the banner text as LGC6509E, you would change it to "*LGC6509E*

-

The importance of policy updates (Cisco Energywise) is hard coded to 100. This is caused by a limitation imposed by the EnergyWise MIB data collection mechanism.

-

The time returned by device (EnergyWise) is based on the device time. Recurrence policies (based on chron jobs) respect the time set on the device, not the time of SolarWinds NPM or SolarWinds NCM.

-

Do not use a 7 to represent Sunday in the day of the week option of your recurrence policy. At this time, 7 is not recognized by SolarWinds NPM and will cause problems with your EnergyWise Policy Overview Calendar.
